Johnny is thy god. Posted at 2:35 PM Aug 7 view more
Hey Johnny!! Figure it's been a minute or two since I hopped over the myspace gates and trespassed through your page (admit it, you missed my sarcastic wit, haha) while endlessly annoying the crap out of you in the process! We've got a few killer shows coming up on Wednesday Sept. 23rd at Shark City in Glendale Heights (21+) and Saturday Sept. 26th at Penny Road Pub in Barrington (All Ages)! We'd love to see you out there rocking out as you pelt us with pennies like we're freshman at our first high school pep rally, out of disgust over what you're hearing, haha! Kidding! Just thought this would be a better way to holler at our friends than posting oversized flyers that take up half your page or Youtube videos, making this more impersonal than it already is and becoming one of those dreaded, "myspace bands!" Hope everything is going swimmingly on your side of the glowing box . . . yup, busted out swimmingly, haha! I use far too many exclamation points to emphasize my point, haha!!! Damn it. Peace.
Just dropping by your page to show you some love and thank you for your friendship. I figure you've got enough bands shamelessly prostituting themselves on myspace that I'll spare you another! We actually take a genuine interest in talking to the people we befriend and are always looking to reach out and connect with them. Feel free to drop by our page and check out our sound (mixing Rock w/ Hip Hop) or just shoot the breeze with us. Don't be a stranger now! Peace and Love.
